Body butters are a perfect way to calm your body after a long day, while repairing skin that may look and fell dry or damaged. In this post, you will learn how to store body butter, as well as, when and how to use it.
How to Store & Preserve Body Butters
After you purchase your personal set of body butters, store it at room temperate and out of direct sun. Avoid body butters with artificial preservatives. Body butters from Mom’s Beauty Secrets are safer because they contain no artificial preservatives. This also causes the natural oils and butters to melt if exposed to heat or direct sun rays. If the product ever melts then you can simply mix it with a utensil and place the container in the refrigerator until it solidifies.
When to Use Body Butters
For best results, use after shower/bath to lock in moisture. Do you prefer to take long hot or cold showers? Well long and hot baths and showers will strip your body of natural oils and leave you looking and feeling dry. So it’s best to not have them too often. Body butters provide you with a natural way to keep your skin moisturized after taking a shower/bath so this is why it is best to use it after your morning or evening cleanse.
How to Use Body Butters
Even though your body butters may be made from the purest of natural ingredients, it is still recommended that you test it on a small area of your skin before applying it to your whole body. This way, you can ensure that it works fine with your skin type.
A little goes a long way. Gather some body butter into your hands and gently massage it to make it into an oil before you apply as needed. Body butters can be used on the body, hands, elbows, knees, face, lips, hair, scalp, cracked heels, nail bed & cuticles. For extra-dry knees and elbows, you can re-apply the body butters during the day as needed. For a more intense treatment, you can apply it after bath and bed time then slip on clean cotton socks, and your heals will look and feel improved by the next morning. Feel free to repeat as often as needed.
For the Face: Use sparingly on the face and avoid using it on oily skin that is prone to acne.
For the Scalp: For use on the scalp, partition your hair and apply directly to your scalp for healthier hair growth and moisture.
For Cuticles: Body butters can also make a great cuticle oil to keep your nails looking moisturized and healthy. You can apply the body butters along your cuticles and use a wooden cuticle stick to push back your cuticles. This way you can ensure that you are getting the best results.
